Data as of August 27, 2026 · How the score is built
Mathematics ranks #2. Particularly strong for mathematical reasoning, scientific computing, and quantitative analysis.
33 published rows leave some tracked benchmark slots empty. Agentic is its lowest eligible category at #16.
Each value carries a field reference instead of floating alone. Markers compare this model with the current ranked and priced catalog; they are not absolute quality thresholds.

The dashed outline is median of 6 nearest peers.
Published API price against the public score. The x-axis uses a log scale; the dashed path marks models that are not beaten by a cheaper, higher-scoring option. Price uses average of published input and output rates.

Coverage is split by category so a strong number never hides a thin evidence base. Verified means the row is tied to a published source; provisional rows remain visible but separate.
Each documented value carries its source. Missing fields stay visible as not sourced or not published, rather than disappearing from the page.
Scores and ranks appear only where published evidence can be displayed. The table keeps the score, weight, cohort, and evidence state together.

Claude Opus 4.8 ranks #8 out of 226 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 76.45/100. Its evidence status is Supported, and this profile shows 33 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.
Claude Opus 4.8 ranks #3 out of 60 eligible models for knowledge and understanding, with a public category score of 86.8/100. That places it in the current top ten for this category. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Claude Opus 4.8 ranks #8 out of 144 eligible models for coding and programming, with a public category score of 72/100. That places it in the current top ten for this category. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Claude Opus 4.8 ranks #2 out of 7 eligible models for mathematics, with a public category score of 66.8/100. That places it in the current top ten for this category. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Claude Opus 4.8 has source-displayable benchmark coverage for reasoning and logic, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Claude Opus 4.8 ranks #16 out of 138 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 61.2/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Claude Opus 4.8 ranks #4 out of 35 eligible models for multimodal and grounded tasks, with a public category score of 85.4/100. That places it in the current top ten for this category. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Claude Opus 4.8 has source-displayable benchmark coverage for multilingual tasks, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
No. Claude Opus 4.8 currently has 50 source-displayable rows across 406 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.
Claude Opus 4.8 has a documented context window of 1M. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
